Women's Clubs Convention The Annual Convention of the Federation of Republican Women's Clubs in Jefferson City last Friday and Saturday set a new record, both in enthusiasm and attendance. More than 500 women had registered at headquarters by ten o'clock Friday night. The luncheon at noon Saturday proved a sell-out as early as Wednesday and many local townspeople gave their tickets to out-state folks who had traveled long distances. Rains, both Friday afternoon and Saturday, failed to dampen the spirit of the Republican men and women who welcomed the opportunity to hear Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio and to meet their friends. The severe electrical and rainstorm which visited Jefferson City shortly after one o'clock Saturday afternoon prevented Governor Bricker from addressing the people from the capitol steps. The House of Representatives Hall was used instead and a capacity crowd heard his sound American talk. Governor Bricker made a very favorable impression upon tho.;e who heard him either at the luncheon or in the capitol. He more than fulfilled the description recently given him by Time magazine: "A Great Governor, A Great Republican, A Great American." Prominent Republican workers were introduced at the luncheon by Mrs. A. A. Steinbeck, president of the Federation. Mrs. Steinbeck was also a guest of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce at luncheon Friday in honor of Governor Bricker and accompanied the governor to Jefferson City. Governor and Mrs. Forrest C. Donnell gave a dinner Friday evening in honor of Governor Bricker and Mrs. Donnell held "open house" at the mansion for all visitors to 'the convention at the conclusion of the program Saturday afternoon. Twenty-five from Franklin County attended the convention. GRADUATES FROM STEPHENS COLLEGE Miss Anna Mae Vemmer, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin H.

LOUIS MUNICIPAL OPERA For the second production of the current silver anniversary season, Municipal Opera will present Jerome Kern's great fun and musical romance, "Sunny", beginning Monday night, June 14, and continuing for seven consecutive nights. The title role of "Sunny" will be played by Evelyn Wyckoff, whose singing, dancing and acting abilities are well known to Municipal Opera followers, in such works as "Irene", "Sally", "Hit The Deck", and "Wizard of Oz", while others in the top parts will include Gordon Dilworth, Edmund Dorsey, Leonard Elliott, Ross Wyse Jr., Mary Stevenson, June Mann, John Elliott, the Four Franks and for the, second consecutive week, Harrison and Fisher. "Sunny" was originally produced in New York in 1925 at the New Amsterdam Theater, running for more than 500 performances and establishing a record which few musicals have even approached. It was introduced to St. Louisans at the Municipal Opera Jn the 1935 season, bringing out what was then a record Monday night crowd and drawing exceptionally large audiences during its seven-night engagement. In two acts and seven scenes, the production this season will if anything be larger and more spectacular than when it made its New York debut under the guidance of Charles Dillingham. So great and costly a vehicle was the musical play that its producer was unable to send it on a road tour except to a few cities where long engagements were possible. The musical score by Jerome Kern, includes the song "Who," perhaps the most long-lived popular number ever written, which is still heard on the radio and at dances with amazing frequency. Of equal prominence in their respective fields are the authors of the book and. lyrics of "Sunny" Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammer-stein II. Gorgeous costume.', intriguing dance and ballet numbers, elaborate scenic effects and a wealth of catchy music and snappy dialogue are part and parcel of "Sunny", which tells the story of a little circus girl who runs away from the show and finds the culmination of her romance In America after a voyage across the Atlantic as a stowaway. "Sunny" will be followed, successively, by "Rose Marie", "Sons O' Guns," "The Chocolate Soldier", "The Great Waltz", "Rosalie", "The Desert Song", "Babes in Toyland", "Merry Widow", and "Chu Chin Chow". The last named production is the season's only newcomer, and will be presented two full weeks, ending the summer of entertainment. New Arrivals Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Schuene-meyer, Union, a girl, born Wednesday, June 9, at' the St. Francis Hospital at Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sieve, Villa Ridge, a boy, born Friday, June 4.

LOUIS MUNICIPAL OPERA For the second production of the current silver anniversary season, Municipal Opera will present Jerome Kern's great fun and musical romance, "Sunny", beginning Monday night, June 14, and continuing for seven consecutive nights. The title role of "Sunny" will be played by Evelyn Wyckoff, whose singing, dancing and acting abilities are well known to Municipal Opera followers, in such works as "Irene", "Sally", "Hit The Deck", and "Wizard of Oz", while others in the top parts will include Gordon Dilworth, Edmund Dorsey, Leonard Elliott, Ross Wyse Jr., Mary Stevenson, June Mann, John Elliott, the Four Franks and for the, second consecutive week, Harrison and Fisher. "Sunny" was originally produced in New York in 1925 at the New Amsterdam Theater, running for more than 500 performances and establishing a record which few musicals have even approached. It was introduced to St. Louisans at the Municipal Opera Jn the 1935 season, bringing out what was then a record Monday night crowd and drawing exceptionally large audiences during its seven-night engagement. In two acts and seven scenes, the production this season will if anything be larger and more spectacular than when it made its New York debut under the guidance of Charles Dillingham. So great and costly a vehicle was the musical play that its producer was unable to send it on a road tour except to a few cities where long engagements were possible. The musical score by Jerome Kern, includes the song "Who," perhaps the most long-lived popular number ever written, which is still heard on the radio and at dances with amazing frequency. Of equal prominence in their respective fields are the authors of the book and. lyrics of "Sunny" Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammer-stein II. Gorgeous costume.', intriguing dance and ballet numbers, elaborate scenic effects and a wealth of catchy music and snappy dialogue are part and parcel of "Sunny", which tells the story of a little circus girl who runs away from the show and finds the culmination of her romance In America after a voyage across the Atlantic as a stowaway. "Sunny" will be followed, successively, by "Rose Marie", "Sons O' Guns," "The Chocolate Soldier", "The Great Waltz", "Rosalie", "The Desert Song", "Babes in Toyland", "Merry Widow", and "Chu Chin Chow". The last named production is the season's only newcomer, and will be presented two full weeks, ending the summer of entertainment.
